I think they're worth something like between $150 and $250, but that's a rough estimate.

Really reminds me of a Juno 106 as far as tonal character goes.

I got a case with my JP8k, and ESQ-1.

The JP8k case has no foam for the sides, and an exposed bolt had carved some scratches into the left side of the keyboard. :x

Not the DX7. No no no. That's a historical, revolutionary piece of kit. I didn't really find a whole lot of use for my DX7 but I really do miss it. My band mates and I called it "The Tank" I think the worst yamaha synth is either the DX100 or the SHS-10. The talkbox and solid bass hype surrounding t...

Okay-ish Juno-106 (working on it) for $30 from my High School and later a Univox Univibe ( :o ), CS01, Casio SK-1, and a ton of other random c**p from them for $18! I sold the Univibe for $1050 and bought my 20" first gen iMac G5 + M-audio midi interface and logic express 8. I traded the CS01 to C1t...

Did you keep any of them, or were they thrown away?

Guys, I'd love some pics! :D Anyways, my JP-8k went thru about 150 gigs courtesy of the previous owner. He took very good care of it then, but it still shows. The blue paint is worn off on all the corners, revealing shiny blue plastic, the amp level knob is all wonky and must be held in place with t...

All of mine were factory set, I think, except my JP8k and MS2000. JP-8k had a nice hoover patch I overwrote without thinking. Wish I had kept it! And C1t1zen I think was the person who made a drum machine-esque patch with the MS2k probably courtesy of that tutorial on youtube. I think whoever is the...

They could even add their own ideas to your mus...

I tried the SH-201, it wasn't that bad...

But I still don't udnerstand why anybody would buy one, because a
JP-80x0 can be had for the same price or at least a little bit more!

While I can't afford most analog synths, they do have a special presence to them that even the greatest VA cannot match for some reason. It's hard to explain. I hate almost all software synths. Why? Well first of all, I almost never use presets. I love tweaking knobs. I want my own flavor of instant...

MT-32, JX1, TB-303 (it has it's place in music history though...) MC-303 The D70 was orignally going to be called the U50 I think. They decided to go with the D name at the very end of development. I'm pretty sure it's just a rompler, so comparing it to the D50 is unfair in that regard. It should ha...
